[He breaks whatever he had, because of the
raise and the call of the double raise. Was that
cold call probably a bad move? Should starfish have
raised to drive out the cold caller? Hard to know
since we don't see anyone's hand.]

[Is calling to be one of two people trying to
outdraw a pat hand often good? I'd assume he's
got a good draw to a wheel here, but probably
so does the cold caller.]

This absolutely has to be a wheel draw with a 7234x, 7235x, or 7245x, with
the earlier hands being more likely.

This could actually be anything here. A 9 with a wheel draw is about the
worst hand possible here. I think a pat 8 is more likely.

> sheckler: discards 1 card

This is a little wider, and coule be any 7 draw, and possibly an 85 or 86
draw.

Seems that he has an 87 or worse, and knew that sheckler wouldn;t have
raised unless he hit. Me? I raise here to try to force out the other
draw and represent a made hand :)

At the higher limits, he would draw 1 here a good percentage of the time I
think.

The pot is absolutely massive. Assuming that he has a wheel draw, he is
getting 14:1 on the call, and even if he has just 3 outs (eg 7532x with
one 4 dead), then he is correct to call on the wheel draw alone. Yes, it
is possible that he makes the wheel and ties, but it is also possible that
a 6 wins it.

They must have both missed badly (not surprising, given the number of dead
wheel cards).

Are you Sheckler? What's a "smooth redraw?"

A "wheel?" I've never heard 75432 referred to that way. I always thought
it was reserved for A2345.
